Story
Dragon
Name: Scintilla
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium 12'4" s / 60' l / 120' ws
Colors*: Black-nebula violet, deeply shaded on head and neck, tail, lighter on mid-body and limbs; vibrant black belly with tiny-tiny star spots, armor is rich black; wingsails and neck frill webbing are violet-nebula mottled with grey, charcoal, black, with brighter violet, and speckled with 'actual star' patterns; strip of scales along body/neck and tail, dorsal ridge, horns and claws all pure white; spots along neck, sides, limbs, and tail are spectrum; eyes are cyan
Features: Rainwing/Nightwing Hybrid, four slender, muscular limbs with very long curved claws 5 on forelimb with thumb, 4 on hind with heel-claw; two leathery 4-fingered wings with elbow strut and long prominent wrist thumb, all with long curved claws; scaled hide with tiny scales on most of body, note that most have plated armor on belly, Scintilla's is smooth; strip of segmented scales between belly and back; head is angular and boxy with strong nose horn, jaw horns, and neck frill behind external ears, two upturned backswept horns; dorsal area from head to tail tip has short wedge shaped ridge scales; body is long and sinuous, including very long and prehensile curled tail; *color shifting scales.
Powers: Winged Flight, of course Scintilla can fly, leaving a glittery light-trail behind her every flap. She is remarkably good at flying in complete or near-complete darkness, even among tall trees, rubble filled streets, crowded city buildings, or jagged peaks. She isn't very strong for lifting, but can in a pinch host two or three humans on her back while she flies to escape.
Verbal and Vortal Communication, Scintilla's Nightwing sire lends her the ability to telepathically and empathically communicate with her human friend as well as other Vortal individuals. Her voice however is as brilliant and varied as her hide can be, and she tends to sing most of the time she speaks. There's always a song lyric readily available to her, somehow.
*Color Shifting, as a Rainwing her scales can all shift colors, and she does so brilliantly, hence her name. They are completely under her control and not really subject to emotional whim, and though she does tend to remain on the 'dark with brilliant accents' side, her black scales can go into a medium cool-grey tone, and the white dims to about the same... though why be dim, when you can be bright?! That strip along her sides, as well as the dot markings she has, can actually become both hypnotic and dangerously bright, the strip almost glows in the dark on its own, but she can cause it to briefly blind any visual scanners or eyes. The hypnotic dancing of her starry wing sails, as well as the spots along her sides can cause seizures in epileptics, so watch out. (or: don't watch!) The swirling stars on both her wings and belly scales are able to dance on their own, and are the only thing really that responds to her emotions outside of willing them to be still.
Hallucinogenic Spit, unlike the venom that most Rainwings can inject into their prey, Scintilla's spit creates a long-lasting (several hours to a human-sized creature) state of euphoric hallucinations. When this wears off, it doesn't cause an emotional or physical 'crash', but it can be addictive to some who like that kind of thing. This spit can incapacitate unintelligent creatures with its potency, which is how she would hunt normally. Some intelligent creatures and species may respond to the substance in different ways: Vortigaunts swear it is quite a bit like the quickening enabled by Antlion larval extract in its physical ways (but lacking the Vortal component), and the Abodean Elves find it to be a bit more daze-inducing than their Dreamberries (so they'd just be falling-down drunk, instead of experiencing magical visions). In other words, to non-magical creatures, they get a bit of a visionary taste of life as a telepath, but those who already are telepathic might just 'get high' and need a sit-down.
Parentage: mother Rainwing Prism, father Nightwing Mooncrusher (now offline/deceased), is clearly related to several purple and black or rainbow dragons in the Rookery, and the list keeps growing...

Other Info: Scintilla is absolutely the best rave companion a person could want. She's a DJ, light show, and drug dealer all in one! ... Um. Well yes, all of those. She doesn't shy away from the fact that people enjoy getting drooled on by her, she thinks it's hilarious. She can serious-up a bit now and then, when Onyx needs to concentrate or if there's something serious going on at the Rookery. She feels that she is best for keeping the refugees and normal folks entertained and occupied, while other dragons are out fighting their enemies.
